Spin Sunday 28th

uberwolf

Thinking I'm looking at a 3hr or so from the Phoenix park. Earlier the better.

abcdggs

i'd be up for that, how hilly are you intending it to be?

uberwolf

it would be fair to say not especially. Nursing myself back to fitness. Wouldn't say no to one decent climb if people are patient at the top

abcdggs

I'm in, what time?

edit- and where?

bcmf

I may join yis if I can drag myself outta bed

uberwolf

79 KM

Park, Clonee, Ratoath, Dunshaughlin, Batterstown, Maynooth (carton house) Dunboyne, N3, Park

bcmf

Time?

uberwolf

how does 9 sound?

abcdggs

Grand for me anyway, where we meeting in the pheonix pk?

uberwolf

I'm coming from the city side, so much for muchness to me

abcdggs

me too...

bcmf

I am coming from Nth County so will prob park @ Whitehall church and spin across to yis

abcdggs

Here?
Feel free to suggest somewhere easier...

bcmf

How about the turnstile at the Hole in the wall Pub?

abcdggs

Sounds good, is that here?

bcmf

Almost but up a little bit further in front of the 'triangle'.

abcdggs

Great, see you there

bcmf

cool. only the 3 of us......

May also tag along tomorrow if that's OK - will depend on what happens the rest of the evening. Pacewise, will this be a hammerfest or what?

at the Ashtown Road gate effectively?

bcmf

I suppose it would be easier to meet at the Ashtown Gate right beside the entrance to The old Pheonix Park Racecourse.

Grand, that'd suit me.

Planet X

In. 9am, Ashtown Gate it is.

uberwolf

70KM door to door for me. Decent pace. One week ban for Planet-X for questioning moderator navigational skills

Caroline_ie

Saw Donal on his way to the park on the road on the South Circular road I waved. I was on my way to the Club spin, all dressed in black

abcdggs

75km + whatever my computer didnt record. good to get out and meet some boardsies

Can't remember if I waved Caroline, though I do remember thinking it might have been you but wasn't sure.

Good spin today. Apologies for upping the pace for a bit, just needed to kick it for a bit! Good amount of people out on the roads today.

No idea about kms or anything like that since I was computerless.

bcmf

81.5km car door to car door for me.
Nice spin.
abcdgg's hope your bike is ok.......oh and you of course.
Fair play to the motorist for stopping for you.
Nice to put some faces to names.

Raam

There was at least a million people cycling around Howth and out from Sutton to Clontarf today.

abcdggs

The bike is fine, bit of a scoff on the brake lever and RD but other than that i can't see anything wrong with it.
I'm grand too apart from the annoyance of going over, but sure it had to happen at some stage, was nice of that guy to stop alrite, if he's on here many thanks, things like this keep my belief in humanity alive.

Nietzschean

Don't know if you guy's in north dublin had the wonderful weather today? fog, hailstones, nearly blizzard like snow down in wicklow/kildare sort of way

abcdggs

Not even close, worst i can say is a bit of light fog. Also it was a bit chilly but grand when we were under way.

Glad we went up north after hearing this, even if the route was a bit haphazard

How lost you get? if its any consolation i rarely knew where i was for any of todays spin, if i had been dropped i'd have been screwed! ... it involved several flash backs of Blorg 'its not that far' spins

bcmf

wasnt so much lost. more a case of a road being closed then a bit of improvising (and some us missing turns)

That sounds terrifying!

it generally seems to fall under the X hours later and think 'i should have known better'...eventually get home and am happy that got the push to do the extra distance/hills...
